What absentee MvC2 characters could hang in 3?

Dhalsim was awesome, I still don’t know why Chun Li makes it in when characters like Dhalsim, Bison, Guile, Sakura and Cammy were so much better options.

At least chun had potential. If she did good damage I think shed be used more as her mobility and mixups arent subpar.

She worked out great in TVC which is probably why she was put in MVC3. Theyd have to start from scratch with bison or dhalsim.

Dhalsim is waaay more marvel than Seth, that is if you actually knew what he was capable of in MvC2. In fact he’d prob be beastlier in 3 with the EZ mode play/combos (mvc3 combos came from Sim’s FSD combos in mvc2 pretty much…though much easier of course) and not having to deal with the bad matchups (the gods/certain assists) he had in mvc2. Though prob wouldn’t be as fun as his unique type of combos in 2 now everyone can do in 3 and the precision needed previously wouldn’t be necessary.

You know, Chun-Li was included because she is a Capcom icon. She is bound to be in every fighting crossover that Capcom put out, till the end of time. She’s as much of a Capcom fighting game icon as Ryu himself. There’s NO way Capcom would have left her out of this game, especially for freaky characters like Dhalsim.

Also, to answer OP: Anakaris, Thanos, Sonson, Psylocke (always), & Magneto

Well, Guile and Bison are on the same level as her and I would even say that Guile stands out way more as an icon, his theme is epic.

Chun is the first Lady of fighting games it’s a pretty big deal I think shes a good addition a solid mid tire point character that requires execution she has a bnb with the right dch can kill most of the 900 - 850 lifers and insane mobility and lame she can lame morrie doom so insanely well because she can stay in the air for days. Only thing I miss from her is her air super from the old marvel games that move was so damn epic.

I would have honestly preffered to have Juggernaut than the version of Sentinel we got. Sentinel is like only a quarter of what he used to be, he lost his godlike j.lk, his flight mode is clunky as hell and he can’t fast fly, hell MODOK can fast fly why not Sentinel? I remember Nitsuma saying that Marvel gave them either Juggernaut or Sentinel, not both, so they chose Sent. Juggernaut would have played the heavy armour character better imo, and let’s face it Head Crush would have been cool as hell, imagine just plowing through everything. HEAD CRUSH!!!

We have nemesis for jug…

Remember when everyone asked for Mr wright? Yeah…

People asked for P.Wright because of a stupid internet meme

but yeah if they wanted to add SF4 characters Seth Would fit well in this game

We needed to have one heavy armor character with air mobility so Capcom chose Sent. Sent is more relevant in Marvel currently anyway and I’m sure that was a factor.

Politics and Marvel balance played a huge role in character inclusion.

Relevance was not relevant. Capcom had a choice, Juggernaut or Sentinel, Capcom wanted both but chose Sentinel because of player demand.

You know, I’d say that Guile is popular on the Internet, but not as iconic as Chun-Li, because of the reasons All_Lucky gave - she is the first lady in fighting games and all. Bison is probably as iconic as Chun-Li, but the leg (no joke intended) that she has on him is that she is very effective as a “lead/heroic female character” and therefore she is a more obvious, safer pick.

But yeah, Bison would have been cool in this game.

This. So, so true. That’s what happens when you let people on the fucking Internet have a say on what characters are going to be in the game.

Oh, and if we could get another SF4 rep, I think I would take Rufus.

Mega Man(with a new movset)
Captain Commando
Jin
Bison
Juggernaut
Thanos
Psylocke

The developers actually wanted Wright in TVC, but they had issues with his moveset so he was removed. IIRC, this is what led to his fanbase requesting him for MVC3. Even the creator of AA wanted him in.

Captain commando is in the game more or less with C. Viper being there.

Captain corridor = seismo and ex seismo

Captain kick = burning kick and ex burning kick

Captain fire = thunder knuckle and ex thunder knuckle

I mean in essence she’s like having commando.

The only thing that makes them clearly similar is that they both pound the ground and they both use fire and electricity. Except now Viper has an optic blast. There’s many other characters that pound the ground with fire or electricity and have the same abilities in the game. Doom pounds the ground with electricity, Dante with fire etc etc. Viper doesn’t use electricity when she pounds the ground and it’s also done differently.

Bottom line they’re not the same they just have the same elements and pound the ground. They have one kick that is similar and an elbow drop. The rest they don’t share.

I’m not the only one who think so

Cable, oh man. I really wish he was in the game but apparently he’s not relevant in X-Men anymore.
Cyclops, though he’s got the same fate as his son. I just want that MSHVSF Cyclops theme remixed…
Ruby Heart actually has a decent variety of zoning tools so I think she could fare decently in Ultimate if tweaked properly. But no one likes her besides me.

Spiral would have been awesome. Can you imagine Spiral, Morrigan, Doom? That team would be hilarious.

Viper would only be like Captain Commando if she put her kid in a robot battlesuit.
